Here are more reactions.

“Gonna dominate,” another fan commented.

“She’s so damn skilled!! She’s only a FRESHMAN!!!! USC has all the new faces of WBB!! 🔥,” one fan said.

David was a five-star recruit and the No. 3-ranked prospect in the 2025 class by ESPN. After verbally committing to USC in September, over offers from UConn, UCLA, TCU and Duke, she signed her letter of intent in November.

Davidson proved her worth in high school, graduating as Oregon Class 6A’s all-time leading scorer with 2,726 points.

She was also a standout in showcase events, shining at the 2025 McDonald’s All-American Game. At the Nike Hoop Summit, she dropped a game-high 17 points alongside seven rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks.

Trjoans fans believe the foundation is set for something special, with Davidson and Watkins leading the charge.

Jazzy Davidson reveals biggest basketball inspiration

USC freshman guard Jazzy Davidson revealed that WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu was her biggest inspiration growing up.

Raised just outside Portland, Davidson often watched Oregon Ducks games during family trips to Eugene. One unforgettable moment was Ionescu’s 30-point performance over Team USA, which Davidson said “flipped a switch” in her basketball dreams.

She admitted during an interview with the OC Register on Sunday that she did not watch a lot of WNBA games as a child. However, the Ducks’ rise made Ionescu larger than life.

For Davidson, seeing someone from Oregon dominate proved that women’s basketball could shine on the national stage.
